SamenvattingAs a result of policies outlined under NEPAD, outsourcing advisory services has become a key component of rural innovation systems in many African countries. In Sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere, the public sector is looking for ways to involve the private sector in enhancing innovation systems with new knowledge, services and experiences. While it is generally thought that outsourcing will benefit poorer farmers by orienting services towards their needs, not much is known about the implications of outsourcing or about outsourcing modalities. It is hoped that this bulletin will contribute to interactive learning between practitioners and policy makers involved in outsourcing in sub-Saharan African countries. Experiences from the pilot programmes presented here, including Uganda’s National Agricultural Advisory Services Programme, may help to guide organizations involved in demand-driven service provision in agriculture or social sectors such as rural health and education.
